Guess That Trope. What's it about? That being said, I feel like we could easily change this to "I Wasn't Scared." or something. It's a fairly common trope, it's just got a crappy name and no wicks. I already added it to Pages Needing Wicks.

Yep, I think that Screamer Victim does not do much to indicate what the trope is really about and given the lack of usage, I think a single proposition rename crowner is in order, so I made one here.

Please tell me if I made any mistakes in setting up that crowner.

I like "I Wasn't Scared" as a possible new name, but I am not sure about whether or not that would be preferable based on its ptitle status. I might be wrong though if it is true that the ptitle system was reworked somewhat.

Yeah, I'll support a rename here. This trope isn't associated with victims or screaming, so it might even be actively misleading.

[up] Yep, punctuation is no longer an issue thanks to the custom title thing. IWasntScared will automatically display as I Wasn't Scared now.

Rhymes with "Protracted."

I was misled, thought it was about screaming teens in horror movies.

13:1 seems like a good Consensus to me. Blank Alt title crowner Here.

Swapped the crowner. I'd suggest sending this one back through YKTTW under the new name to collect more examples.

I deleted the completely wrong I Wasnt Scared. No way we are trading a proper name for a line of dialog.

Do you have another suggestion? Because Screamer Victim is bad on a number of counts.

Also, all of the wicks had been changed, and were not changed back, so now there are no good wicks for this trope anywhere on the site, and no way to find them.

I'll just cut it. It makes no sense, anyway.
